Hello @Robert Nammour. You are #3 on the WL. Thanks

Hey buddy, please take me off the wait list. I won’t be able to make it anymore. 
 

thanks 

Can I please get on the waiting list? 

Hello @Gaurav apologies my man, but I’m going to have to drop out. I look forward to seeing you on another drive!

Go to “gallery” and find our drive within the album. I have a few more of you though. Drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll send them to you

Aaah the 5mb limit then. Because these were straight imports from my camera (around 10mb). Alright then. I’ll compress and upload again. Thanks chief!

Done! I posted a few pictures

There are few limitations: filesize should be max 5MB, and the ratio shouldn’t be awkward. I usually reduce them to 1024x768 and that seems to work.

I’ve tried posting from my phone a couple of times. This website doesn’t seem to like mobile browsers very much 😂 I’ll try again from my work laptop tomorrow 

Hola, I’ll post a few shots of cars in the gallery. And I’ll email you yours shortly. 

Hello everyone, thanks again for the fun drive this morning! Massive thanks to Richard and Marc for guiding us in and out of the desert.

So i managed to snap a few semi decent pictures. Unfortunately, i was mostly only able to take pictures of those closest to me. That would be Serafino and Salman.

I do also have a couple of the rest of you though, so don’t despair! If anyone wants me to send them whatever pictures of them that i may have, please email me at: [email protected] and be sure to mention your car so i can easily scan through the pics and send them over to you.

Hope to see you all out in the sands again!

Good afternoon Desertnauts, 

What an amazing opportunity you've signed up for with the South of Qudra drive.

You are going to have to have your A game with you on Friday. Why did I pick South of Qudra for this drive? Firstly, it's not that well used as a 4x4 zone because it's a tiny bit further out than the Qudra Lakes area (yes - please take into account it's a 20 minute drive from the Al Qudra gas station to the start point). Secondly. we are spoiloed by the choice of wide dunes, high dunes and slopes on which to play. 

 

For a newbie, it's the ultimate playground because we can drive for a long time through, over and around the dunes and practice the skills needed to feel confident on the sand. 

 

The downside to this is that there is some soft sand to navigate and it means you need to get your momentum and power ratios sorted so that you can float over the incredible white sands and climb the magnificent dunes in front of us. If everyone is doing well, we can venture further in (direction of Ganthoot - Adu Dhabi) and try to find some of the amazing pyramid dunes - but maybe they are for another day. 

 

What can you expect on this drive? Wide dunes, high climbs (for a beginner) a faster pace and some side sloping as well as riding ridges. 

 

Sounds like fun! Myself and @marks are looking forward to it. 

 

See you soon in the sand. 

 

Sounds like a plan! See you on Friday. 

Yeah! Finally managed to get a spot in a newbie drive. This will be fun!

@Robert Nammour let me know if you can open the attached file. I use My Trails, but the GPX file can be opened with many Apps (Gaia, Wikilock, My Tracks, etc.).

Got it! I downloaded Gaia. I’ll be taking my brother there soon! Thanks again (and I’m convincing him to join Carnity)

Thanks chief! It really was a lot of fun. Could you please share the route coordinates? 

It was great meeting all of you. I hope to see you guys again on another drive!
